My child is 6. I have them do 10-20 min of guided reading daily, meaning I sit with them and help where needed. They read mostly on their own though. I started because school was basically not teaching anything and giving half assed explanations why not.
How much do you do? Wondering if I’m an asshole parent 😅
Not going to dox myself, but EU member country in the east. I was pretty annoyed. He in a kindergarten and I was told he needs to know how to read by 1st grade. I repeatedly asked the kindergarten when they’d teach him to read. No real plan, just kind of “when he’s ready”. I said fuck this and did it myself.
The kindergarten is Montessori and I think that’s the problem. They are pretty weird sometimes and learning must be done the Montessori way. They tried to tell me he didn’t know all his letters when he was already reading in the local language and English 😶
Ah yeah I’ve heard not great things about Montessori schools… Sad to hear that, friend. But you’re doing the right thing by your children to read with them. That’s good to do regardless of whether they’re school is bad. 🥰
